About Yemen Abdullah al Kuhali Tufahi Natural Coffee (#010)

About Bonanza Roasters:Bonanza's coffee is not average; it’s not standard; or normal. From the moment coffee is planted until it is served, their coffee has gone through the hands of countless individuals who are all remarkable within their field. All critical efforts along the journey result in coffees that are a sum of choices made with the single goal in mind: how does the final product taste in your cup.

Established in 2006, Bonanza could be deemed as one of the 'originals' in popularising speciality coffee, least mention their gravitas within their home Berlin speciality coffee scene. Bonanza coffee doesn't have to taste the way it does, but it does. It's not your typical, it's unnecessarily good. But, maybe that's because they're unnecessarily driven...

About This Coffee:Bonanza are honored to share this fantastic coffee from the first ever National Yemen Coffee Auction. Yemen is home to a very unique microclimate, incredibly high altitudes and a wide of range of varieties rarely seen in European roasteries.

As opposed to the private Yemeni auctions of the past few years, the National Auction aimed to allow farmers and exporters to directly submit their coffees to undergo blind tastings to choose the coffees to be placed into the auction, meaning the winnings go directly to the farmer.

Although coffee's birthplace was Ethiopia, it was first cultivated in Yemen. The uniqueness of Yemen coffee can be attributed to the uniqueness of Yemen itself - Yemen coffee developed through the centuries isolated from the offspring of those smuggled beans that gave birth to coffee in the rest of the world. In Yemen, coffee is traditionally grown at high elevations in harsh environments receiving little rainfall. As a result, the varietals that developed in Yemen had to survive a harsh climate. They are the result of centuries of adaptation to these unique conditions - thus the varietals themselves are unique to Yemen. In addition, the added stress of these conditions on the plants increases the number of nutrients and sugars pushed to the cherries which ultimately increases cup complexity.

Cupping Notes:Nashi Pear / Strawberry / Coconut Jam

Process:This particular lot is grown at 2300masl and is processed as a sun-dried natural lot. Due to the lack of rainfall, Yemen coffee has always been sun-dried natural, further increasing the sweetness of the cup. Ultimately, Yemen coffee and its history are much like Yemen itself: mysterious, intriguing and complex.

Coffee Tasting Experience Booklets
Top 1% Of Speciality Coffees, Delivered 'Competition', 'Limited Edition', 'Micro-lots', 'Premium Variety', all are words used to describe the very best of speciality coffees, and through GUSTATORY Stories you are able to try the world's very best top 1% of speciality coffees. Whilst GUSTATORY's speciality coffee subscriptions consistently deliver the very top 5% of the world's best quality coffees, our limited edition Stories go one further and offers a coffee tasting experience with one-off special guest coffees. How It Works Given the nature of GUSTATORY Stories, each special guest coffee curation will vary in retail price depending on many coffee related factors, varying between £20-100 RRP. Due to this fluctuation between each coffee feature, every curation is made available by special announcement(s) throughout the month(s), each with a limited timeframe to purchase. No subscription, only limited one-off purchases. Limited Edition & Price Savings Each curated special guest coffee will be available in limited quantities with a limited cap on customer numbers. Similar to a GUSTATORY coffee subscription, each curation will also provide you with savings on the RRP as well as extra savings by way of us paying the high costs of international shipping and import duties that you'd otherwise pay if shopping direct (when the speciality roasters are international). Coffee Tasting Experience Booklets Complementing each, we also provide all accompanying media and information leaflets as supplied by the speciality roaster, if any, as well as a GUSTATORY Stories coffee tasting experience booklet that you may use many times over to make record of your brewing techniques, opinions on taste(s) and overall results. Experiment with your brewing and see if your coffee tasting experience changes over time. Rest Period We always recommend that coffees are 'rested' between their roast date and first consumption to allow the coffee to 'degas', making brewing easier and your cup tastier. Such a 'rest period' will take place during your coffee's journey from it's speciality roaster to you, and so, whether our curated special guest coffee roaster is located in London, Edinburgh, Budapest or Copenhagen, even New York or California, your delivered coffee will be ready to be enjoyed.

A home-brewed quality coffee is far less expensive than cafes

Issue: With the continuing economic uncertainty that COVID and the cost-of-living crisis brings, many are tightening the purse strings and choosing cheaper alternatives. However...For more: Comunicaffe International
...Whilst the purse strings may need to tighten, a better quality home-brewed coffee or tea is still far less expensive than buying individual drinks on the go. Over the last few years, many have taken the opportunity to improve their home brewing skills, and now with the equipment and know-how to recreate that authentic coffee shop experience from home, are enjoying cheaper quality coffees. With cafe coffees costing anything from £2.50-4.00 each, and with a bag of 250g quality coffee costing between £7.00-12.50 and providing you with enough to achieve up to 15-35 brews per bag (depending on brew method and strength preferences), the savings and better quality coffee are both there to be enjoyed.

If this isn't you, there really is no better time to start, and better yet, at GUSTATORY you’ll find plenty of affordable coffee subscription packages. It also won't be long until you discover a new favourite. All coffees are roasted fresh for us as part of our monthly subscription delivery schedules.
